You can tell me i will fail as much as you want, but i would rather try and see if i can succeed then never trying, but i dont think a ski bum life will make you pro. Its probably hurting your chances more then helping.

And you can just watch your spending and keep a lookout for cheep rents. Sure ski towns can be expensive but I managed to find a studio apparent 5 minutes from sunday river for $395 a month with everything included but the electric which is around $50. I also split the living cost with my girlfriend. Shit is doable just be smart and persistent.
